The refusal of the Clarendon and
Astoria Hotel proprietors to furnish ac-
commodation to Mr.. w. A, Hazel, our
townsman, an intelligent and respect
able gentleman should be met with
prompt and vigorous justice. Men who
love liberty should not look upon this
matter in the light of a personal affront;
it is the gauntlet thrown down to all Of
us; an insult to the race at large. It
devolves upon each of us, quite as much
as upon the aggrieyed party, to give our
time and money to fight this outrage to
the sweet or bitter end. In some other
places Civil Rights Leagues successfully
perform this work in the communities.
With right and the law on our side, our
duty is plain. We must agitate. Let
no one swerve. And delays are dan.
gerous.
